    Hey guys.

    I have a problem about ROBO3D R1.
    Robo cannot move to origin point,that push button movement all in Matter Control.
    X axis and Yaxis are moved to orign right point, but Z axis move up about 5mm.
    Also press repeatedly, it will continue to rise.

    here is a log about movement all.

    What's such a problem occurs in the cause?
    In addition, although I think that it is the same problem, it rises to the top in each corner of the auto-leveling cycle.

    here is a log about auto-leveling.

    One of the Z axis home switches is open/triggered all of the time.

    It could just be out of position or the wire could be loose.

    Thank you for your reply mark.

    I checked limit switch with electric tester, but it works collectry.
    Connection is cut off,when Switch is on.
    Connected ,When Switch is off.

    Is the switch is z end stop, that is attached with vertical shaft?
    Could you tell me how to check from the controller?

    Best Regards.

    Sending an M119 command from the terminal window will return the status of all the endstops.

    Thank you for your reply danzca6.

    The result of the command is this.

    ->M119

    <-Reporting endstop status
    <-x_min: open
    <-y_min: open
    <-z_min: TRIGGERED
    <-ok

    I will try to check the controller card.

    Best regards.

    Mine only does that when the X-Axis carriage bars are not exactly parallel with the printer bed. Then the Z axis switches are triggered at slightly different times. I use a small bubble level to make sure the X axis and Bed are parallel.

    Thank you for your reply Robert55.

    I checked z axis sw allways triggerd. It may be broken controller or arduino board.
    I will try to change these parts.

    Ok forgive me because it has been awhile since I have used the stock auto bed leveling, but having Z report TRIGGERED I think is correct when the X axis is sitting on both switches. The logic in the firmware for Z is switched. So if you lift one side off the endstop it should no longer say TRIGGERED when you send the M119. It just sounds like when it probes the bed it might have one side (probably the left side) sticking off of the endstop instead of coming back down all the way. Try pushing that side down after it lifts from a probe point and before it starts going down to the next.

    Thank you for your reply danzca6.

    It was checked by pressing the switch. The operation had become reversed logical.
    When the switch is ON, it open.When switch is OFF,it triggered.
    Could you tell me how to make this logic in reverse?

    Best regards.

    Thank you for all.

    Anyway ,For now, I will correct the following part of the source code.( configuration.h)

    Before
    // The pullups are needed if you directly connect a mechanical endswitch between the signal and ground pins.
    const bool X_MIN_ENDSTOP_INVERTING = false; // set to true to invert the logic of the endstop. //robo
    const bool Y_MIN_ENDSTOP_INVERTING = false; // set to true to invert the logic of the endstop. //robo
    const bool Z_MIN_ENDSTOP_INVERTING = true; // set to true to invert the logic of the endstop. //robo
    After
    // The pullups are needed if you directly connect a mechanical endswitch between the signal and ground pins.
    const bool X_MIN_ENDSTOP_INVERTING = false; // set to true to invert the logic of the endstop. //robo
    const bool Y_MIN_ENDSTOP_INVERTING = false; // set to true to invert the logic of the endstop. //robo
    const bool Z_MIN_ENDSTOP_INVERTING = false; // set to true to invert the logic of the endstop. //robo

    I am pretty sure that setting should remain "true".

    Yeah...totally needs to stay true. Like I said, it is reverse logic in the firmware because the switches have the x axis endcaps sitting on them. What you just did will make it so you can only go up or else the firmware will think you are hitting the z endstops.
